Biomanufacturing Capacity Crunch: It's The Supply Chain's Fault
What's behind the protracted biopharma manufacturing capacity crunch, when will it end, and what are manufacturers doing to keep supply on track? During Biotech Week in Boston ad BioProcess International, CDMOs and sponsors weighed in.

The RNA Therapeutics Supply Chain: A Platform of Relationships
Conversations digging into RNA-specific sourcing considerations have been few and far between. Enter Sanofi's Greg Troiano. Together, we delved into the nuances, challenges, and opportunities for growth that currently exist within the mRNA drug substance and drug product (i.e., mRNA-LNP) raw material sourcing worlds.

Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?
Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

What Violin Making Can Teach Us About mRNA Therapeutic Quality
Managing the mRNA supply chain and working in mRNA process development may not look anything like the work a luthier does to hew an instrument from an ancient spruce tree. But violin craftmanship actually serves as a fantastic metaphor for the challenging work the mRNA therapeutics space is tackling in sourcing and qualifying raw materials and optimizing the critical IVT reaction.

A "Hot Take" on Personalized mRNA Medicines
mRNA’s small-scale and cell-free production are often-touted benefits in the personalized medicines sphere. But as I reviewed my notes from the BioPhorum ATMP member event, I found myself coming face to face with a difficult truth.
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS
-
GMP-Source is a more robust, less rigid alternative to full cGMP production that mirrors nearly all of the oversight and quality standards of full cGMP production while relaxing certain commercial standards, helping companies overcome the hurdles that can stall early development.
-
Explore the past, present, and future of supply chain security, ways the biopharma industry can secure supply chains and minimize risks, and more.
-
The story of how Moderna brought one of the first mRNA vaccines to the market has all the makings of a legend we will pass down through generations. However, unlike the legends of King Arthur or The Fountain of Youth, we can celebrate that Moderna’s legendary journey was — and still is — real. Not only did the mRNA vaccines help return life to normal, but they also kickstarted the mRNA therapeutic renaissance we’re happily experiencing today.
